The EOSC Steering Board has published an Opinion Paper setting out recommendations to strengthen Europe’s capacity to manage, govern and safeguard research data and data services. The paper proposes options to reinforce the resilience and long-term sustainability of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), ensuring that European research data remain accessible, high-quality and securely governed. It highlights principles such as responsible openness, federation autonomy and strict data-quality control, and calls for sovereign services and closer alignment with common European data spaces. The goal is to enable trusted, transparent data management while keeping Europe fully engaged in global scientific collaboration.
